Subject: Re: the well-known address approach

I believe there is also a scaling issue.  If the well-known address 
mechanism is truly limited to unicast (and not anycast) addressing, an 
enterprise can only deploy as many recursive name servers as there are 
reserved, well-known addresses.

Another potential issue is that deployment of hosts using the well-known 
addresses will force network operators to support DNS service at those 
well-known addresses, even if some other service architecture would be 
better suited to that network's requirements.
